So there's this thing called "Setup Scripts" but they don't explicitly say these are equivalent to AWS Metadata and configured inside of Codex web interface - not a setup.sh or a package.json preinstall declaration. I wasted several hours (and lots of compute where Codex was as confused as I was) trying to figure out how to convince codex to pnpm install.

Codex engineer here. Can you elaborate on what was confusing? I would love to make it more clear.

I didn't realize the setup script had to be done in the UI over in the environment tab. I assumed it would be reading something like setup.sh from the codebase.

Docs could make that more clear

I just found this thread while trying to figure out where to set the setup script. The docs should probably make that more clear.
